shrug It's always looked like that, and I haven't done anything to make it look like that (if that makes sense -- I didn't go in and tick a setting that was captioned "make it look as confusing as possible").

I just never bothered to investigate the settings, except for the one that makes it scroll forever and ever. That one I turned off because ARGH!!!!

I need to put this in my user name because every time I post something someone asks me.

This is how it appears on my dashboard. If you don't like it, take up with tumblr.

I was honestly just curious -- it just seemed so out of place. Even in the full post (the source -- not the version I posted) I couldn't figure out how it got from werewolf periods to the moth string.

Thanks :) :) :)

(grin) I am now picturing a totally stoned AI sat with a bong in its hand going "oh woooooooow man!! This is good shit!!"

 

Also I have no idea why it veered into a discussion about a moth's DNA. That was unexpected, but very tumblrish.

Also -- on an entirely different topic that has nothing to do with my childhood being totally and utterly ruined -- is it just me or does Spock look REALLY fucked off about something?

Well now my childhood is ruined.

I had a toy bus with people that looked like this that sat in it. It was one of my favourite toys -- I called it Derek's Bus because....... well that's a long and complicated story I don't want to get into, but it was one of my favourite toys. (I might still have it in a box upstairs).

And now I learn they are called "PEG PEOPLE"?? So if I do find it in a box that is ALL I will be thinking about!!!

Fuck me.

(And yes -- not my best choice of words).

You realise that was the working title for Star Trek 5, but then they went in another direction......

Guantanamo Bay is still open.

There are still prisoners there, held for nearly a quarter of a century without trial.

Please -- Tell me again how he respects The Constitution, democracy and isn't a fascist.

Or are you only scared because they are coming after white folks now?

Pretty sure dodos don't float any more :)

Yeah -- this sounds more of a reasonable argument.

In 2003/2004 would people have said the same thing compared to Reagan, or Nixon? That compared to Bush, Reagan seems downright reasonable, or compared to Bush, Nixon seams down right reasonable?

I remember a lot of protests against The Patriot Act? And against Guantanamo Bay?

I remember a lot of right-wing patriotism sweeping through the USA and people being condemned for not falling in line.

Are you sure 2003/2004 was a more reasonable time?

 
 

I have to admit, my corner of tumblr seems remarkably passive about this past week. No freaking out, no mad panic, no "it's the end of the world"

Just "meh" and "so lets move on and do what we need to do"
